Due to an all-day shower, 973 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at
MG Park.
Harry Versmessen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Zalán Szikszai and
Ando Hark.
WaterBoyz had chosen a strategic 3-5-1 formation.
Lineup: Cortés - D'Arrigo, Stamper, Rucz - Hope, Stambaugh, Abenia, Randle, Lilly - Guraya.
A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for DrNate.
Starters: Kocięda - Plassart, Ventura, Månsson - Ferrer, Cerdeira, Schrader, Sakıp - Frank, Eggert, De Cort.
DrNate mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle.
J. Abenia caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 16 minutes. This gave WaterBoyz the 1 - 0 lead.
23 minutes into the game, WaterBoyz seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
inadequate level of organisation.
With 27 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience,
G. Randle needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed.
32 minutes into the game, WaterBoyz seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to
poor.
Halftime score was 1 - 0.
WaterBoyz claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.
During the break, WaterBoyz's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to
passable organisation.
M. D'Arrigo, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass.
81 minutes in, WaterBoyz appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only
inadequate.
After 83 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and
J. Abenia gave the WaterBoyz supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0.
After 85 minutes,
R. Guraya put WaterBoyz ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing.
By now, the players in WaterBoyz felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
WaterBoyz's
F. Hope had an excellent opportunity after 88 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles!
WaterBoyz enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.
The most dominating WaterBoyz player was without a doubt
R. Guraya.
On the other hand,
E. Lilly's play was disheartening.
DrNate's top performer was clearly
J. De Cort.
M. Ventura was a disappointment, however.
The match ends 3 - 0.
